What do you want to do?

Move to the next slide

In Slide Show view, click once anywhere on the slide to move to the next slide.

Note: If you incorporate custom animation effects to text or objects in your slides, clicking on the slide one or more times can start animation effects, rather than moving to the next slide. Follow the procedure (in this topic) to move to a specific slide to avoid triggering the animation effect.

Move to the previous slide

In Slide Show view, right-click the slide, and then click Previous on the shortcut menu.

Note: If you incorporate custom animation effects to text or objects in your slides, clicking Previous can reverse the sequence in which animation effects appear, rather than moving to the previous slide. Follow the procedure (in this topic) to move to a specific slide to avoid triggering the animation effect.

Move to a specific slide

In Slide Show view, right-click the slide, point to Go to Slide on the shortcut menu, and then select a slide from the list by title or slide number.

Note: If you cannot determine which slide that you want to move to from the list, switch to Normal view, and then in the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, click the Slides tab, and then view each slide thumbnail individually.
